Not 1 but 2 Play programs

It is such an exciting time, January which is normally a slower period of time for me, where I will just take a load off and enjoy some winter fun with the family. However this January I have been asked to produce two photographic play programs for 2 different local area schools. What fun I am really looking forward to this.

These plays look like both will be a hugh success. The South Bay Elementary School is doing a 101 Dalmatians play and the Chinook Middle School is going to be doing Mulan. The Directors of the plays Mrs. Elizabeth Bretschneider has such enthusiasm and passion for what she does. Dress rehearsals are next week for the Dalmatians play I will post a few images from that. I am really looking forward to the photographing at the stage location it takes me back to high school and all the wonderful plays I helped produce as a stage manger.

Mulan will just got underway first rehearsal was yesterday and it has some really great talent in the show. I look forward to watching this play take shape.

The loss of a good dog

I am sad to say that Casey our beloved Saint Bernard was laid to rest on Monday. Casey had a cancerous tumor in her back leg that pain killers were no longer keep the pain away. Casey had been well loved by all that knew her and will be missed.

Casey was a rescued Saint Bernard that we took into the family while we lived in Las Vegas I truly believe that she was in heaven here in Washington she loved the much cooler weather and snow was always her favorite time to play. While we had Casey she enjoyed a carefree life living on our 5 acres, she enjoyed chasing down delivery trucks and excitedly greeting any of the various visitors that we had. Fed Ex and, UPS and DHL were always kind to her and had a cookie treat ready to give her. She tried fame one year when Grey my son decided to enter her in the fair with 4-H for dog handling and whilst she enjoyed the public life it was very exhausting work and she much preferred life at home. I think I will miss her the most however because she was always by my side during the day and I found myself stepping over her anytime I needed to get up from my desk. Casey would bark to let me know she wanted to come in and I am sure many of my clients can attest that when ever I was on the phone it seemed like she knew and would bark for attention in or out. I will think of her often and miss her but know she is pain free and forever in my heart.
